[docs] [issue17205] In the help() function the order of methods changes

[py.user]

New submission from py.user:

>>> class A:
...   '''class'''
...   def c(self):
...     '''c doc'''
...     pass
...   def b(self):
...     '''b doc'''
...     pass
...   def a(self):
...     '''a doc'''
...     pass
... 
>>> help(A)

class A(builtins.object)
 |  class
 |  
 |  Methods defined here:
 |  
 |  a(self)
 |      a doc
 |  
 |  b(self)
 |      b doc
 |  
 |  c(self)
 |      c doc
 |  
 

When I have many methods ordered in the source in readable order, the help() function is mixing them, so the last method goes to the top and the first method goes to the bottom.

I would like to have an option, whether I want sort them or not.
